According the publisher's details given for volume four, we know that at least up to chapter 43 ("The Steed Balaha") has been published. As I personally only have the first two volumes, I can't tell you if any of the subsequent chapters are included in volume four, or if they are to be published still. There are supposed to be 54 chapters in total, based on the table of contents given by Karma Chagme (as published in the first volume).

It's sort of unclear if the fifth volume is supposed to be the root text or not based on the description given on the KTD bookstore website. However, keep in mind that "[Khenpo Karthar] Rinpoche also omitted the chapters that he considered restricted. These restricted or secret parts will be taught and published separately at Karma Ling Retreat Center for use by qualified students."

"The Sutras, Tantras, and Philosophical Scriptures are great in number. However life is short, and intelligence is limited, so it's hard to cover them completely. You may know a lot, but if you don't put it into practice, it's like dying of thirst on the shore of a great lake. Likewise, it happens that a common corpse is found in the bed of a great scholar." ~ Karma Chagme

i second Karma Jinpa's reply. i think it was stated in the vol.2 introduction that the vol.5 is a restricted book.

In so far as the Ultimate, or the true nature of being is concerned, there are neither buddhas or demons. He who frees himself from fear and hope, evil and virtue, will realize the insubstantial and groundless nature of confusion. Samsara will then appear as the mahamudra itself….

I found out that part 5 is not available for general public at all. Even if you had permission. I cannot Tibetan so I have no clues what the part 5 is about. I am interested in the original text of Karma Chakme.Hopefully we see translation of the complete text if it is beneficial.

There are "parts" of the previous volumes, or rather sections in the earlier portions of the original text, that were not translated, due to restrictions, as well as the fifth volume. These relate to aspects of practice that require personal transmission from a qualified teacher--prior to being able to read the text. If you can read Tibetan, you can find out what those things are, but it's not really worthwhile unless you' ve been exposed to those things already in a formal way.

That's right, folks. They're estimating the value of a four-volume set of Karma Chakme's Mountain Dharma at $115... and the current leading bid is a paltry $37!!!
